Walking + Falling presents the work of three
notable artists who have utilized new media to
explore and represent complex notions of time,
movement and memory.

Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904) was an
English photographer whose sequential images
of human and animal locomotion were the
product of a groundbreaking scientific study
and an artistic vision that evoked a lyrical
sense of time and movement.

Chris Marker is a French filmmaker who is
renowned for his work in a variety of photobased
media. His 1962 film La Jetée is widely
regarded as a compelling meditation on
time and memory. Marker’s film occupies a
liminal zone between photography and film,
documentary and fiction, past and future, real
and imagined, stillness and movement.

Based in San Francisco, artist Jim Campbell
draws deeply on the history of photo-based
imaging to produce what may be best described
as a newly emerging post-photographic
practice. Trained at MIT Labs in Boston,
Campbell has created several new bodies of
work that use computer software, electronic
components and programming language to
produce provocative images of contemporary
life.

Organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery and
curated by Bruce Grenville, senior curator.
